What has Léen accomplished during the past few decades' in extending the average length of life is marvellous. From the time of prehistoric man to the present there has been a pro- gressive increase in the average length of life, but the increase has been greater in the past century than the total of all preceeding centuries. We have no written records of man's early days, but judged by fossil re- mains the average life of a man in the The Churches C CHURCH H OF T HE ASC ENSION Sunday, July 25th-- 6th" Sunday after Trinity 11 a.m.--~Merning Worship Fred Wilkinson, conducting service PORT PERRY UNITED CHURCH REV, R.

The astronomer Halley drew up a life table based upon records for Bresleau in 1687-1691, showing 33% years as the average length of life; life tables for England and Wales in 1838-54 showed the average length of life to be 40.9 years; in the United States in 1900- 1902 the average length of lifer was 49.2 years. Then, incredible though it" might appear, within the : brief period of ten years--1940 to 1950--the population at age 65-and over in the United States increased by 37 per cent, while the number at ages under 65 rose by only 13 per cent. In Canada, the Metropolitan Life In- surance Company reports in its Sta- tistical Bulletin, the crude death rate dropped more than 40 per cent, from 8.9 deaths per thousand of its indus- trial policy-holders in 1924-1926 to 5.2 per thousand in 1946-1948.

Missionary Visits Baptist Church On Sunday, July 18th, Rev. Gordon Mellish, missionary to Liberia, West Africa, under Baptist Mid-Missions, was guest speaker at all the services of Port Perry Baptist Church. : Mr. Mellish showed pictures of the work .in Liberia to the Sunday School which met at 10 am.. At the 11 a.m. worship service he brought an en- couraging message from God's Word and related many experiences of God's working in their field. The 7 p.m. service: on the church lawn withthe public address system was well attended and My. Me]lish brought a challenging message both to Christians and non- Shristians. At 8.15 the congregation moved inside to see more pictures of the work in Li- beria and hear a tape recording of: a service in a native church. The open air church service.on Sun- day evening on the church lawn are proving very enjoyable. "On Sunday evening, August 1, at the 7 p.m. ser- vice, Rev.

The most noticeable feature of the new design is the placing of the en- graved portrait of the Sovereign on the right-hand side of the face panel instéad of in the center as at present, This new position places the portrait where it will not be subject to the wear occasioned by the constant fold- in'and unfolding of notes through the center. Because of this the engraved lines of the portrait will retain their clarity and crispness for a longer period.' The new position also permits a better arrangement of lettering. Second most notable feature about the new notes is the reduction of ela- borate ornamentation in design, in- cluding the elimination of the decora- tive oval framing around the portrait. Simpler styles of lettéring and type have been used. The Governor of the Bank pointed out that these changes all contributed to better legibility as well as adding to the safety of the new issue, Another change that came in for comment and approval was the re- placement of the symbolic figures and scenes appearing on the backs of the present -issue with 'engravings. of photographic scenes of Canadian countryside, Mr. Towers empha- sized that these scenes were not chosen because they repesented particular places but because they were charac- teristic of a number of areas in Can- ada, It was explained -that' the oppor- tunity provided by the decision to re- design had cnabled the adoption of production "methods. One change had resulted in a distine- tive "feel" which would contribute to safety. Another was the production of the characteristic colours of de- nominations by new and safer meth- ods. "Mr, Towers said 'that preliminary arrangements were now being made for the major job of distribution and that this had prompted the decision to hold a number of advance showings for cditors, press correspondents and others in various centres. He said that the Criminal Code provision which prevented any illustration of currency left no practical alternative method of making available early in- formation on the new design. -- Distribution of the new notes will be effected as worn and soiled notes of the present issue are withdrawn from circulation and it will therefore be some time after September before the exchange is complete. Treating A "New" Disease A mysterious disease called pan- creatic fibrosis affects one out of 600 infants, Treated for many years as a combination of pneumonia and an intestinal disease causing mal- _nutrition, it almost always proved fatal to the young sufferers. Even though thousands of children were affected, pancreatic fibrosis was re- garded as a "new" disease by = ex, -- | many doctor's. Finally,in 1938, Dr. Dorothy H. Andersen of ¢| Columbia Uni- toms and. various changes made on the body by pan- creatic Abrosib ¢ fibrosis, and medical science recognized the "new" disease. Paricreatic fibrosis produces a double attack on youngsters. A heavy mucus liquid forms in the 3 lungs causing a severe cough and hampering breathing. This condi- tion also results in frequent infee- tions, such. as pneumonia and bronchitis. The second set of symp- toms affects the pancreas and it fails to deliver its quota of enzymes to the digestive system. The chil- dren, though they eat large amounts of food, are underweight and suffer from malnutrition, 'As a result of medical research, better methods for treating 'these patients have been evolved. A series of tests on 49 patients was recently conducted for 16 months by four Boston doctors. They found that the broad-range antibiotics, such as t erramycin, were the most effective in this disease, protecting' the child against lung infections and at the same time stimulating their growth, With proper diet and careful treat: nient, the children now have A new ° lease on life, Thé new issue]: .] sections, Union Dictatorship 'A THREATENED STRIKE, which would have thrown 16,000 employees of International Nickel Company at Sudbury out of work, has been averted because 29 of 45 safety workers at plants in area have voted to renew wage negotiations with management. Significant aspect of Sudbury in- cident is not that majority of safety workers engaged in wage dfspute re- jected resort to- strike action, but ra- ther that they did so against the wish- es of their union leaders, Officials of leftist International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers have since been engaged in vituperative attacks as "traitors to the trade union move- ment." Attitude of union officials suggests that in their view union members should invariably cast a strike ballot not in- accordance with their con- | science and their own comonsense but rather according to the dictates of the labor bosses themselves. Fact that Sudbury safety workers have re- fused thus to be regimented is refresh- ing indicatino .that at least some seg- ments of Canadian trade union move- ment are determined to remain free and decline to be merely pawns of ir- responsible union leaders. ; Disquieting in extreme is threat ut- tered by Mine, Mill and Smelter Work- ers officials that 20 men who refused to vote according to the line laid down by union. bosses may be victims of punitive action designed -to deprive them of their jobs. Threat of union: officials that union will be called up- on to refuse. to approve any contract into which affected safety workers may cnter_is sheer dictatorship, --The Letter Review. Book Quiz fo Combat Comics After all aboutthe need of saving children from the influence of erime comics, it is women doing something about it. The Elmview Women's Institute in Nor- thumberland County, Ontario, is try- ing the experiment of setting up a ren's book quiz, preparation for which requires the reading of an attractive list of .classics--Alice in- Wonderland, Black Beauty, Tom Sawyer, Bambi, Little Women, Treasure Island, Pin- occhio, Heidi, Robinson Crusoe, Beautiful: Joe, Ann of Green Gables, and some half dozen others. As the first step in their "Better Reading Campaign", the women sent a questionnairre to two local schools to find just.-what the children were reading. The answers showed a long ers; so the Institute was assured that anything "they could do to promote good reading was well 'worth doing. At the beginning of the school term in September an announcement of the quiz contest was sent to each of the four schools in the area. The quiz would be held in the spring so the children could have the fall and winter months for their reading. All of the books assigned were in the school libraries, but it is reported that they were seldom seen on the shelves all winter. . The final quiz contest was a big event in the community. Each school entered two pupils--a boy and a girl. In order to ensure a large audience of thildren, each school was asked to pro- vide two numbers for a program of entertainment, Three children's films were also-shown. A quiz master had been found who could put the children at their ease, and as the quiz pro- ceeded even the children in the aud- wanting to answer too. It is of interest that the committee in charge of this venture are all form- er teacher, married to farmers and living on farms in the district. They are Mrs, Frank Alexander, the origi- nator of the idea; Mrs. George Cole and"Mrs. Don Budd. They, themselves, read, 'or no doubt re-read, the books assigned and framed the questions to be asked--which was something of a chore since each question must have have 'only one possible answer and mugt be, interesting to both the con- testants and the audience. "Mrs. Alex- ander explains that it was hoped such questions as "What-did Anne put in the cake by mistake the day the min- ister and his wife came to tea?" and "Why did Tom Sawyer and Huck take the dead cat to the graveyard at mid- night?" might make other children want to read the books. : Local school teachers, and the School Inspector, gave their enthusias- tic support to the project. Teachers from other districts have expressed the wish that some group would launch a Better Reading Campaign in their Mothers say- thir children are now bringing home more library books, And the Elmview Women's: Institute is making plans for a bigger and better Book Quiz next year, upon safety workers, describing them | § : a we - have been hearing heartening to find a group of rural if counter interest by means of a child- |i: list of comic books and very few oth iene were soon waving their "hands | | GROCERY SPECIALS Heinz Baby Foods, all flavours, 3-29c.
